Stefanos Tsitsipas’ woes continued on Wednesday.
The former world number three squandered a match point opportunity before losing to Hungary’s Fabian Marozsan at the Munich Open.
Following the 6-3, 6-7, 4-6 loss, Tsitsipas is projected to fall to world number 78.
This would be Tsitsipas’ lowest ranking on the ATP Tour for eight years.
Boris Becker, a six-time Grand Slam champion, has weighed in on Tsitsipas’ plight, suggesting the Greek star should make a key change.
Boris Becker suggests Stefanos Tsitsipas needs to make changes in his ‘professional life’
Becker, a three-time Wimbledon champion, offered his take on the matter in a post on X [formerly Twitter].
“Wondering when does he [Tsitsipas] realise, he might have to change a few things in his professional life?”
“He is still young enough to turn it around , if he really wants to…”
Tsitsipas has endured a tumultuous professional period on the ATP Tour over the past year.
After parting ways with his father [Apostolos Tsitsipas] as coach, Tsitsipas hired former Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic in May 2025 as his full-time coach.
However, their professional relationship quickly soured, and the pair parted ways at the end of July.
Tsitsipas subsequently rehired his father as coach.
However, unfortunately for the former Grand Slam finalist, his results have not improved under his father’s guidance.
After a promising start to the year, Tsitsipas’ form has taken a hit.
The 27-year-old has lost his opening match at four of his last five events, winning two of his last seven matches.
What next for Tsitsipas?
Tsitsipas’ next event is scheduled to be the Madrid Open, which will take place from April 22 to May 3.
Tsitsipas reached the round of 32 at last year’s event before losing to Lorenzo Musetti 5-7, 6-7.
If you were in charge of tennis, what is the first rule you would change?
Tsitsipas’ best performance in Madrid to date occurred in 2019.
The Greek star reached the final, before losing to Novak Djokovic 3-6, 4-6.
He deserved the victory, he played unbelievable” Tsitsipas told reporters after the match. “I couldn’t do much.”
“Really like I think his performance this week — I didn’t play with all the guys, but pretty sure was the best. So physically I was not there.
“My legs were not coping with my mind. Completely I could feel the fatigue and this soreness, not just in my legs, but everywhere in my body.
“And yes, he played quite smart. He tried moving me around the court. He knew I had a tough match last night, so he took advantage of that knowing that, you know, he’s going to have to make me run and suffer more and I just didn’t have solutions.
“I tried getting the ball, coming a little closer to the line but I didn’t feel today that comfortable doing that. He seemed very solid from the baseline. He knew what he was doing. And that’s about it.”
